Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApproximation Methods for Fixed Points of Quasi-contractive Mappings in Arbitrary Real Banach SpacesOlusegun O. OwojoriOwojori and Imoru [1] introduced some iteration methods and investigated its convergence for pseudocontractive and accretive operators in arbitrary Banach spaces. In this work, strong convergence results are established for fixed points of a general type of quasicontractive mappings in arbitrary real Banach spaces. Our results here represent some improvements on the earlier results of Owojori and Imoru [1], Naimpally … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,155 accessesView PDFCite

Timber harvesting in Turkey is still carried out by manual methods due to economical, social and environmental constraints. Almost 80% of harvesting activities are mechanized in many developed countries while this value is only 5% in Turkey. Overall ratio … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,585 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Reconstructed Basins Using Pattern Spectrum ProcedureP. RadhakrishnanSeveral classical and Fractal binary shapes, which are akin to geophysical shapes such as basins, lakes, and pore-grain spruce, are analyzed and characterized by employing various mathematical morphological transformations, and methods. By employing rhombus, square and octagon structuring elements, these shapes are decomposed into their skeletal networks and their corresponding skeletal network subsets are dilated to the respective degree by … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 6,932 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDuration Modeling in Undergraduate Econometrics Curriculum via ExcelIsmail H. GencThe main goal of an Econometrics course is to prepare students for more advanced levels of study and make them able to cope with the empirical problems they are likely to face. In recent years, there has been a tendency to purge merely theoretical topics from the econometric textbooks by including only time honored methods. Survival analysis, however, has so … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2004 · 7,053 accessesView PDFCite
